Every now and then telemarketers can be rather fun to talk to. There are some that just make me think, "Huh. Is this guy for real?" I got to talk to one of those kind today.

Telemarketer Man: Hi Mrs. Allen. I am calling because you are having computer problems - your computer is running slow.

Me: (confused) Um...actually our computer is fine. We're not having any problems. Did my husband call you?

Telemarketer Man: No, no one called, but your computer is not fine. I sense hesitation in your voice. You tell me it is fine, but I can feel that you are unsure that it is working properly.


Me: (laughing out loud because I can't hold it in any longer)If I sound unsure it's because I'm wondering how you got my phone number and how you seem to know that my computer is slow. I'm pretty sure I don't need your help, but thank you.


Telemarketer: Your computer has a virus that is causing it to be slow. You need help.


Me: (Who am I talking to, Dr. Phil?) My husband takes good care of our computer and he can handle it, but thanks.


Telemarketer: I hear the uncertainty in your voice, but ok. Have a nice day.

Of course, they ALWAYS end with have a nice day.

Love it.

This call made my day. Really it did.
